34dThey did not destroy the nations,

Concerning whom ethe Lord commanded them:

35fBut were mingled among the heathen,

And learned their works.

36And gthey served their idols:

hWhich were a snare unto them.

37Yea, ithey sacrificed their sons

And their daughters unto kdevils,

38And shed innocent blood,

Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,

iWhom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:

And lthe land was polluted with blood.

39Thus were they mdefiled with their own works,

And mnwent a whoring with otheir own inventions.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

They did not destroy the peoples,

as the Lord commanded them,

but they mixed with the nations

and learned to do as they did.

They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to the demons;

they poured out innocent blood,

the blood of their sons and daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

and the land was polluted with blood.

Thus they became unclean by their acts,

and played the whore in their deeds.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

They did not destroy the peoples

as the Lord had commanded them,

but they mingled with the nations

and adopted their customs.

They worshiped their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to false gods.

They shed innocent blood,

the blood of their sons and daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

and the land was desecrated by their blood.

They defiled themselves by what they did;

by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They did not destroy the peoples

as the Lord had commanded them

but mingled with the nations

and adopted their ways.

They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

They shed innocent blood—

the blood of their sons and daughters

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;

so the land became polluted with blood.

They defiled themselves by their actions

and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

NLTNew Living Translation

Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land,

as the Lord had commanded them.

Instead, they mingled among the pagans

and adopted their evil customs.

They worshiped their idols,

which led to their downfall.

They even sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to the demons.

They shed innocent blood,

the blood of their sons and daughters.

By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan,

they polluted the land with murder.

They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,

and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

They did not exterminate the peoples,

as Yahweh had commanded them,

but they mingled with the nations

and learned their works,

and served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They even sacrificed their sons and daughters

to the demons,

and they poured out innocent blood,

the blood of their sons and daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

and so the land was defiled with the blood.

And they became unclean by their works,

and were unfaithful in their deeds.
